A new era begins

I will retire at the end of March. I've driven a company car for many years and so I had to buy something to drive. I did a lot of research and finally decided on the Ford Transit Connect. I will do a little conversion, nothing fancy. It hopefully will allow me to travel cheaply.

The main costs of travel are Gas, Food and Lodging. The Transit should get close to 30 mpg, I will be able to cook in it, and sleep in it several nights in a row.

My first mini trip (aside from racing photography trips) will be the second week in April, when I travel to Dallas. I went with a great group last year and had a great time, but their pace was a little slower than I'm used to. I'm going to shoot Dallas Blooms plus some skyline shots.
